Default I rarely see other GSes driving around

Being the Lexus head that I am, I've always got an eye out for other GSes and I hardly ever see them. I see tons of ES, RX, IS and a surprising amount of LS430s.(Which I am appreicating more and more) For every 20 Lexus cars I see maybe one is a GS, let alone a 400 or 430.

Anyone else notice this.

Isn't that a good thing? At least your car is not common.

I guess it depends where you are. I see quite a number of GS in my area.

yah, I'm not complaining-I just think it's odd.

Is the GS the least common Lex?

Well the SC wasn't a big seller really either. But demographically I think where you live probably doesn't attract many GS buyers. How many 5 series do you see?

Here in Atlanta there's TONS of GS's.

Yup. When I am in SoCal, this is definitely the case. Considering I see a lot in my NorCal area too, it just seems like there are a lot of GS around. Most are stock though.

Chuckb -- I'm in Chicago, and there are not that many GS's around. I don't mean to hijack your thread, but on a related topic, have you ever noticed that there are NEVER any commercials for the GS. I always see RX, ES and LS commercials, but never commercials for the GS.

Question

In the DC area you rarely see GS 430. About 99% of GS's in the Metropolitan Area are 300. As a matter of fact. In the time i've own my 430, I have seen only 4 GS430. That's including mine and my partner. I had guy with a GS300 asked me where I get my GS430 emblems from? I was like "NAW, DAWG" this is the real thing no fake. Showed him the engine to prove it. So, are there alot of GS300 masquarading as GS430????

I see a few BMW 5s & 7s but I don't look for them. Tons of Benzs though. The number of LS430s is up there. I guess because I am in old fartville.

And yah, I've never even seen another GS430 in my town.
